Mi J Nr , Figuring inJK r rtrrtd by TS N:kil GrnvKi Soorfy. Jton. D. C. to Urgn- V t A -ifft f"W iWj J i'-"' .7Tu kjiii-.- J..-" HUNGARY: HUMBLED AND ISOLATED Hungary, cut practically to half Its former size by the Treaty of Versailles, nn now disassociated from Austria and having no alliance with" other neighbors, is peopled by a race unusual In many ways, according to the following communication to the National Geographic society by C. Town-ley-Fullam : "Pastoral Hungary has features all Its own. It stretches across the vistas of the Great IMain In the region of the Hortobagy. There is the genuine original Magyar, the Sentaur-Ma-zeppa, who, like his sires of old, that rushed Alexander on the plains of Sogdlana, rides like a devil of the twilight; eats, drinks, sleeps on his small, tireless charger, and chokes with pure delight In lust of life and rush of wind. The long white 'gatya' no penitent sheet the embroidered sleeveless waistcoat, the plumed or be-rlh-boned hat, the gorgeous mantle, the deei-bovled pipe, mark this tanned r.acchaiialian cavalier more surely than dot's the anthropologist. He cultivates no circus trick, but lie and his horses are Fmmasoiis in one craft. There is nothing spectacular in this man's work nor annals. His bloodbrother, the shepherd of the night, sustains himself on sheep cheese and milk nnd in his lonely vigils could still do service to astronomy. The Queensland squatter has no such run as the shepherd of the plain, whose vistas are wide, illimitable and peaceful. "What may In the psychological keynote of a pastoral nnd peasant jKMjpIe, shepherd kings, whose whole coriMrate national life lias been one long test of endurance that in the end has tired out Turk, Teuton, Slav, and even Destiny herself? A musical, wine-loving, hospitable race: warm, generous end combative; proud and vain; dowered with the curse of Ueuben, with a total incapacity to unite on great issues and the power to tight on any soil but his own. -Imagine this people, its gods still the bards of the victor's camp, cut off from all the world we know by its Turanian tongue, whose beauty chained the admiration of Cardinal Mezzofanti (who is said to have spoken fS languages), but maintaining its own as a minority by sheer force of character in that strange Pentecostal mosaic of race, creed, and caste which until recently held the Danube and the Central Hain as Austria-Hungary. "Imagine a virile stock which can still sit and tlrink, can fall into gleaming frenzy as its harp or picture-post storms a delicate imagination with breathless deed ; a race which combines the Buddhist " aversion from action wiili the Celtic instinct of opposition; improvident, lavish, naively charmed at the courtesy of the stranger; simple, with the barbarian lust of pleasure to the eye; sensitive to its inmost chords to gentleness a passionate, dreamy nuy of fatalists; tlie true Asian mystery." MOROCCO: BANDITRY THERE A PROFESSION The 1'iilft mI States has had diplomatic dililcultics in recent years witli the people or northern Morocco where Spanish armies have just scored their greatest success in sustaining the colonial power cf Spain in Africa. Some insight into the kind of people with whom the Spaniards have had to deal Is contn!nMl in the following communication to the National Geographic society, concerning Kaisuli, "the Villa of Moro vo, whose raids" caused political crisis In Spain. Ho cotild not bear to hear a child cry, while on several occasions I noticed his care even to avoid allowing the hoes collected in his cup to drown." Is the surprising statement, not of a friend, but of the wealthy American who was hehl for ransom by Kaisuli in Ii, until President Itoosevelt sent u Meet of warships and his famous ultimatum. 'INgrdicaris alle or Kaisuli dead.' to Morocco. "In many respects the man interested and attracted me in spite of all my natural motives for dislike." continues the writer. Ion Perdicaris. "Kaisuli was at once so gracious and dignified, not to us only, but to his own wild adherents, who evidently idolized their chieftain, whose position among them seemed that of the head of a Highland clan in the olden times. "He was quick to see the humorous aspect of a situation, while his repartee was as Immediate and to the point as though tie had been born in County Galway itself. In fact I discovered to my consternation that I was beginning to like the man in spite of my natural resentment. I found myself unconsciously accepting his contention that he was not a mere brigand or cattle-lifter, tint a patriot struggling to rescue his Herber followers frorrj the ty ninny of the corrupt shereetlan officials. His charm of vohe, the natural poise and dignity of Ids manner, his self-control under provocation, all betrayed a superior character. "In fact, this strange experience while in camp witli Kaisuli at TsarraiJan began to assume an aspect of un

expected nnd Idyllic charm. The life of tlie natives ;the little touches of more gentle human character; the tiny child who offered me fruit, which I at tirst declined, until I noticed the expression of disappointment and mortification upon the boy's face, and then the radiant and almost ridiculous satisfaction of the little fellow when I pretended to enjoy his halfripe offering; the many attempts of the wild people about me to propitiate me; their curiosity as to our own manners and"customst as when one venerable inhabitant of the village led me gently aside to inquire why we walked so energetically up and down the village green. Tor health's sake,' was my reply. 'Indeed?' said the old Mohammedan, and may I -ask Ikjw many such dally turns, up and down. It may require to keep a Christian in good health!' all afforded matter of Interest and reflection. "Kaisuli was confronted by the problem as to what disposition he was to make of the seventy thousand silver Spanish dollars which he demanded for our release. Here at Tsarradan there were no iron safes, nor so much as a house with a. cellar, while th thatch of skaff, or dried reeds, the only rooting of the houses, offered but poor security should he leave so much coin stored in a village where he himself wns but a transient sojourner. "At last the mules bearing the silver dollars, carefully packed in boxes, arrived and the bullion was counted. I was summoned by Kaisuli, 'The silver,' he said, 'has been counted twenty thousand dollars, as stipulated, in Spanish dollars; but these letters,' showing me as he spoke a check book .containing certified checks on the Comtolr d'Kseompte, the French bank at Tangier, 'of the value of these, which are supposed to represent fifty thousand dollars, I know nothing. However, I will accept them on your personal guarantee, but on that condition only. "When I had examined the checks I gave the required assurance verbally, and Kaisuli, leading me to the door, where I found my horse waiting for me, bade me adieu, saying that he had learned to look upon me as a friend, and that he hoped I cherished no ill feeling on account of my detention. He furthermore assured me that should any danger menace me in the future, that not only he himself, but any of the men of the three tribes under his orders, would hasten to my relief. "Thus I left him, and pushing on as rapidly as we could we were soon in the midst of a large armed escort which had come from Tangier to see us safely home."

KIACHOW: THE FIUME OF CHINA Kiachow, China, was seized by Germany in 1S07 and captured by the Japanese when the latter entered the World war in 1914. Its permanent disposition has been the subject of wide discussion, especially in the United States because of our historic friendship with both China and Japan. Now dispatches state that a Japanese representative at the first meeting of the League of Nations announced that his country is ready to prepare for the transfer of this territory back to China. Following the murder of two (Herman missionaries in 1S97, Germany employed her retaliatory seizure .of Kiachow as a means of obtaining an indemnity and a 99-year lease on Tsingtau and tin? bay of Kiachow. She gave the name of Kiachow to the entire German concession, which is not to be confused with the nearby city of the same name. The concession includes the German-built city of Tsingtau, outlying towns, and the bay, which has a narrow outlet into the Yellow sea on the west coast of the province of Shantung. Tsingtau illustrates aptly Germany's pre-war methods of getting a foreign foothold in anticipation of her dream of world domination. The setting of tiiis effort lay in a province conspicuous in Chinese history for 4.0HM years, and revealing traces of pre-Chinrse inhabitants. For Shantung was the birthplace and teaching field both of Confucius and Mencius. Then also the Boxer movement first was directed against foreigners. lint the harbor of Kiachow, apparently. Interested the Germans more than history. It is considered one of the best along the Chinese coast, and to have a stronger natural defense than Fort Arthur. Hack of the city rise hills as high as l.otH) feet and a range GX feet high dominates the harbor. This range was utilized by the Germans for forts where they mounted powerful Krupp guns, commanding every point of land and sea approach. When the Germans completed their defenses Tsingtau was considered one of the most strongly fortified ports on the globe. All tills protection was not to be afforded a tishing village and a none too busy harbor. Natives were persuaded to move, and the lessors built a typical German city on the site of Tsingtau. They also renamed this city, calling it Chlir.-tao, but the older name clung to it. Streets were laid out, and given Genna names. German banks, German industries, including breweries and German hotels were established. No otlier postoihee than the German one was permitted to handle foreign mail. Germany not only obtained Indemnities and the 193 square miles area and bay describe!, but mining and railway concessions. Shantung has fertile, well cultivated lands', coal fields, deposits of Iron, gold nnd other metals, and small diamonds are found. A railway was built to Chinanfu. connecting with Important inland line

BOKHARA: STRATEGIC CENTER OF TRANSCASPIAN REGION Keported nervousness, ou the part of the Bolshevik leaders at a growing restlveness under Soviet Institutions In the region of the Caucasus, raises the question whether similar conditions may not be present in Bokhara, just across the Caspian sea. where plots and counter plots have followed one another bev.ilderingiy during the last few years. Bokhara, dusty and tawny In tone. Is nevertheless a colorful city because of the striking costumes of the male inhabitants. The women, clad In somber tones and hiding their faces behind horsehair veils which resemble window screening, avail themselves of a protective coloration which enables them to move like shadows about the ancient city. Hut the Bokhara male, be he Usbeg. Sart, Persian, or Tajik, utilizes all the colors and tints of the solar spectrum in his costume. Bokhara is an Important religious center."" It has :G4 mosques. With a practically unknown railway running south to the Afghan frontier, its location In the midst of Central Asia gives It a strategic Importance that Is little 'appreciated. The Khanate of Bokhara has an area about equal to that of Utah, but with four times the population. Since the outbreak of the war, Its fortunes have varied. Fart of the time it has been an Independent khanate, showing Its prerogative by taking up the rails of the Trans-Caspian railway whUh passed through its territory. Several times It has been under the control of the Bolshevik forces. The Amir had a picturesque army of about 11,000 soldiers, many of whom carelessly lounged along the stone passageway which lends up to the Ark, or castle. On this incline, In front of the royal residence, formerly there was enacted every Friday morning a ceremony -pressive in its dignity and dazzling In its color effects. Hundreds of solemn mullahs, clad in bright silk robes of stick candy stripes or gorgeous golden suns on purple lields, belted with silver, and with buckles' as large as salad plates, gathered here in Impressive rows, each with a priceless prayer rug beneath his feet. These were not the dashing types which once made Mohammedanism a power from Mecca to Gibraltar but the ceremonialists - whose religion Is a thing of dignity and prosperity, founded on trade rather than a life in the saddle. In unison they bow low so that only broad backs can be seen, but a moment later all are erect with their spotless wMte turbans the most prominent feature In a scene so colorful that only an Oriental sun could harmonize it. Bokhara is architecturally unimpressive but nowhere are there more attractive Oriental bazaars. Iirasssmiths vie with goldsmiths to add the glint of glowing metal to the half light of the covered souks and there the makers of peculiar Bokhara caps display their brightly colored wares, the edges glistening with soft furs from Siberia. hondurXsITand of rivers and big DEBT Honduras, least developed of the five Latin American countries which are now considering the formation of a "United States of Central America," Is a country of hills' and valleys; of rain and sunshine; of large and small rivers. A half dozen rivers may be crossed in one day, and while they are usually narrow and shallow, a few hours' rain will turn them into roaring torrents, absolutely impassable. A traveler may be held up for many days by a stream that when he first crossed it was less than three feet in depth. Honduras Is said to be the most 'backward of all the Central American republics, and she will remain so until railroads cross the country and the government becomes stable. Then there "will be great opportunites there for many, and Americans and American capital will always be welcome. The country is just a little larger than the State of Pennsylvania, yet It has a population of only a little more than half a million. It has the largest per capita debt of any country on the face of the globe except New Zealand at least it had before the present Kuropoan war upset all statistical conditions. It owes J?220 per capita. Most of this debt was created by loan-shark methods, however, for Honduras would agree to pay SK) to get one or somr such ridiculous proportion. The natu of the country Is said to be derived from a Spanish term meaning "depth," the early explorers having found difficulty in striking water shallow enough for anchorage. They were so delighted when they reached the Nicaraguan shore nearby that they called the headland "Cape Gracias a Dlos" (Cape Thanks to God) a name it still holds. As a rule, the night will be spent In a native house, sometimes little more than a hut. built of mud. thatched or roofed with tiles. One is apparently always welcome to the best the house affords; but a hammock as part of the traveler's outfit is n necessity, for the beds of stretched bull-hide or canvas are usually fully occupied, if not by those at whose homes you are a guest, then by other residents greatly to be feared. Everybody sleeps In one room men, women, and children together. Your hosts are curious, but polltery so, watching you undress nnd get into your hammock, with a calm stare that must not be considered impertinent, for a white man Is not an every-day visitor. One learns seldom tt und res completely.

LACE DRESS STYLE

Paris Dressmakers Are Successful With Dyed Fabrics. Darkey Greens, Deep Browns, Rust Reds, Golden Yellows and Deep Blues Favored. Apparently one need have no fear in buying a lace dress that will soon become old-fashioned as far as lace is concerned, at any rate, states a Paris correspondent. Tills Is extremely gratifying nt this time, because newthings have sprung up overnight like mushrooms to such an extent during the last few years that we are glad to have something to which we may pin our faith, if It Is only a party dress. Hack of all this lace agitation Is a well-known propaganda In behalf of the French industry, and this propaganda has been launched at a time when the market is almost bare of merchandise. It is, therefore, not to sell goods now, as there are few laces to be had, but it is to create a movement In favor of laces in ordqr that when the new stocks are ready the world will be clamoring for them. Among the most Interesting features of the present fashions arc the dyed lace dresses. Early last summer there was ovId"'? ot a strong revival of lace through the launching of many black and white lace dresses nt the spring and summer race meets. Deauvllle In .Tjily and August also proclaimed the i vogue of lacei but it was left for the ' Paris dressmaker to spring something new at the opening of her season. Witli lace on the crest of the wave these clever creators of novelty clothes brought out lovely dresses in dyed laces of the darkest greens, deep browns, rust reds, golden yellows and deep blues.

Bright Dresses for Winter

Gay and Pretty Costumes Add an Air of Cheerfulness on the Dull Days. As the winter season advances, brighter and prettier arc the dresses that are worn, which is as it should be. .A pretty bright costume is cheering on a lull gray day. For instance, an attractive brown taffeta dress, with a tucked vest of the same fabric, is made with an eton effect and a belt of bright-colored ribbon. A blue taffeta dress has a waist which suggests a basque, with seams piped in silk. It is slightly shirred in at the waist!ine to adapt It to a girlish figure. Ited wool is used to outline the neck. The skirt has six bias bands, which are sewed around at the top, but each band is left loose at the lower edge, which adds grace to the skirt. This dress would he pretty made in navy blue satin. Another blue silk dress is made with a round yoke of navy blue georgette crepe, which extends as a band across each shoulder and down the tops of the sleeves. This georgette trimming is outlined along the edges with bright green silk machine stitching. A dres which combines brown velvet and brown wool jersey has an nccnrdinn-plcated skirt of the latter worn witli a hip-lensrth jacket of brown velvet edged with wool cord In orange tones. The same wool cord edge forms buttonholes for wool buttons of orange color. This overblouso has set-in sleeves of the velvet. A dress of blue velvet and satin Is

this winter's fashions one must have a dyed lace dress, and while Mack and white laces nrv still very fashionable, the newest thing, of course, is the lace dyed in one of the new colors.

THE WINSOME TAM AND SCARF A tarn and scarf of angora is charming for winter weather, as the model here demonstrates. NEW NET AND LACE DRESSES Embroidered in Color, Made Over Contrasting Foundations, Both Youthful and Attractive. In their effort to add further novelty to the lace" Idea the Paris dressmakers launched strange kinds of combinations. For instance, blue serge dresses are trimmed with blue lace, usually in an opposing shade of blue, as navy blue serge with royal blue lace. Dark green velvets are combined with green lace, rust-colored brocades with rust lace, and so on through numerous combinations the clever Paris maker varies the lace idea. Net as well as lace dresses are made in simple chemise effects. Straightline dresses of white net embroidered In color and made over contrasting foundations are both youthful and attractive. One of Cheruit's big successes lias been an orange lace dress. Madeleine et Madeleine have repeated many times a model made in. dark bottle green lace, and Callot Soeurs consider their rust-color laces the most fashionable offering of the season. It is hut natural that nets should follow in the wake of laces. They, too. are oftentimes bright colored. If, however, they are black they achieve the necessary brightness by embroideries, which may be red or copper lined. i Care of Silk Waists. White silk shirts and waists washed in warm suds, rinsed in water of the same temperature, wrapped in a hath towel to absorb the extra mositure, and then pressed with a warm iron, will not turn yellow for a long time. Avoid exposure to strong light while drying and really hot Irons, for both tend to turn white silk yellow. Startling Colors. Startling colors appear to be the most distinctive note in dress trimmings this season. Klaborate embroidery designs of oriental inspiration, with tinsel thread worked in with rich colors, are most popular. trimmed with touches of blue wool embroidery. Pockets on the skirt have thistles or corn flowers of blue clipped wool used with green wool stitching. FASHIONS IN BRIEF New Paris footwear Is elaborate and makes much use of straps. A new vogue in blouses combines crepe de chine nnd knitted silks. Flat velvet flowers are applique on chiffon and edged with flat Jet beads. Pastel-colored felt hats are trimmed witli flowers In striking color combinations. Frocks of blue tricotine have collars of black satin which button high around the neck. Five and six-Inch laces, dyed any preferred tint, are made up Into charming evening gowns and dancing frocks. Crepe meteor, crepe de chine nnd all silks with crepe surfaces or weaves are In high favor for frocks for next spring. Wool jersey cjoth Is one of the present season fabric leaders for sport blouses end smocks. The trimming most used is heavy embroidery, which may be done In wool, chenille or woolen beads. The new net veils are very large, large enough to swathe the hat and hang down the back. They are coarso and open. The smartest are the square mesh filet or octagon shaped tish-net veils with a border of chiffon. The favorite colors arc brown and ta ".
